It’s official. Nene Leakes‘ of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has raised a career criminal!

Leakes’ oldest son Bryson Bryant recently posed for his 4th mugshot after he was arrested for probation violation in Gwinnett County July 5, 2012.

Bryson’s criminal history is pretty lengthy so I’m not really sure which charge he was on probation for but he was arrested around this time last year after he was caught shoplifting two Mach 3 razors from an Atlanta area Walmart.

Prior to that arrest, Bryson was arrested twice in 2010, once for possession of a controlled substance and possession of a weapon (mugshot), and a second time that same year for marijuana possession (mugshot).

But wait… there’s more!If you recall, Bryson made the news earlier this year after he was involved in a nightclub brawl which left him hospitalized with a shattered jaw and multiple broken bones in his face.

Nene stated then that she had raised her son to the best of her ability and that he’s a grown man. She hasn’t comment on this latest arrest.

According to Starcasm, Bryson could be facing some real jail time for this latest incident!

Bryson’s latest probation violation is his second. He received his first violation at the time he was arrested for theft at Walmart. He had been on probation stemming from his 2010 arrest for drug possession. Now that he has more than one violation under his belt, he could be facing some serious jail time.

Who knows maybe jail time is what he needs because having a “rich b*tch” mother certainly isn’t helping. And what

I guess we’ll be hearing more about this arrest next season as well. Stay tuned….

[Sidebar: I was just joking in my opening statement but could Bryson actually be considered a career criminal now after posing for his 4th mugshot???]

Now only if she spent as much energy into her kids as she does throwing shade and being a bully to the other girls he wouldn’t be a jail bird. Now bloop bloop that!

No wonder she has so many jobs b/c she needs the money to keep bailing him out.

Shay Shay

Please! Like Nene said, he’s grown. It’s time for him to unlatch from his momma’s titty and grow up and make better decisions. He knows he’s still on probation and has no room to mess up, but he’s still trying to be slick.

Franklin

EXACTLY!!!!! SHE DID HER JOB, NOW HE GOT TO SUFFER THE WRATH OF HIS WRONG DOING.

tori

I kinda felt bad for Bryson when he dropped out of college because I’m sure he knew Nene and Greg were disappointed, but now that he is getting locked up left and right, I feel sorry for Nene. She has to be tough to dealing with a failed marriage and a delinquent son. She has given Bryson everythingand he turns around and throws it in her face because he know she got it like that. Nene probably wouldn’t care if Bryson flipped burgers for a living as long as he was staying out of trouble. I see why Nene always brings Brent with her, what kind of role model is Bryson? I hope he get his life together soon and stop trying to live a thug life. In the words of Evelyn "you ain’t about that life"

JENNY JONES!!

I WAS KINDA THINKING THE SAME THING. MAYBE SHE SHOULD’VE SPENT MORE TIME WITH HIM THAN BEING FABULOUS. YOU ALWAYS SEE HER YOUNGER SON WITH HER ON TRIPS BUT NOT BRYSON. A CELEB MOM MAY NOT BE WHAT HE NEEDED WHEN HE WAS STILL GROWING UP. AND TRYING TO BE FABULOUS & KEEP UP W/YOUR MOM’S STATUS AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU’RE LOST YOURSELF. YOU END UP DOING IT WRONG, TRYING TO TAKE SHORTCUTS(ILLEGAL BS) & END UP LIKE HIM. YELLING & FUSSING ARE DIFFERENT THAN SPENDING QUALITY TIME. GOOD LUCK TO THEM BOTH…….JENNY JONES!!!

Taelor-Simone

Courtney, if you spent less time trying to throw jabs at Nene you’d see that Bryson is wrong for his choices and only HE should face his own consequences. I find it interesting that he waited until he became an adult to get arrested. Nene and Greg must have been doing something right. Otherwise, he would have been in jail long time ago.

Nikki

Chile Please!! You sound like a fool! We raise children and when they grow up they do what they want to do. Im sure you havent done all the things your mother wanted you to do either in your life. And if you have, just keep living you will do something to disappoint her too.We all do! Nee Nee is not longer responsible for grown ass Bryson. Maybe this time she will let him stay in jail like she wanted to last time until Peter talked her out of it.

He doesn’t know how to deal with his mom’s success and he’s crying out for attention. She’s probably consumed with her career which gives her no time for her family.

Melissa

Courtney u sound like such a fool STFU!!! this boy is a GROWN ASS MAN wat he chooses to do in his adult life is on him she raised him & gave him a life she didn’t have & that’s all u can really do as a parent! Wat choices he makes at the age he is will be the ones he will have to live with! NeNe is a dam good mother!!!

Ray Ray

BITCH STFU!!! I’M TIRED OF ALL THESE HOOD RAT HO’S TAKING UP FOR THESE SORRY BITCHES!!!!

Hey Hey Hey

Wow, you very seem upset. Does this story make you think of your hood rat momma or something?? The language and words you just used let me know where you reside at in this society. You probably have more mugshots than Bryson.

feroberts00

Thank you…Nene doesnt owe this grown behind man nothing!!!

DaRealNoMatterWhat

Michelle,

your big ass is so messy. I can tell you don’t have kids because you don’t seem to understand that when kids grow up, no matter how they were reared in their homes, they will MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. I am sure that you, too, have done some things that your family may consider as "less desirable" behavior. What you need to do is concentrate on getting your money up like NENE has & that way you won’t have time to remain on this low vibrational plane that you are clearly on. What kind of positive things do you do in your life? Seems like you’re always hating H.aving A.nger T.owards E.veryone R.eaching S.uccess….

VICTORIA

@DaRealNoMatterWhat…..COSIGN!!!!

Ihearyou

I agree DaRealNoMatterWhat. My mom raised 4 kids with me being the oldest and no one was treated any better or worse than the other. All the kids, with the exception of one, grew up to be productive people. The one brother decided early in life he wanted to live his life defying the law and up until he died(in his 50’s), that’s what he did. My mother could never understand why he was like that.

Even though I am not a fan of Nene I can understand where she’s coming from.

Gloria

I am with you. My mom was the best mom on the planet but I did things that were not pleasing in anyone’s eyes. That was not her fault. When I got grown I changed my life but my other 2 siblings decided to become crack addicts at the same time. That wasn’t my mom’s fault either. Along with her prayers and rehab they both got off drugs. There are children of great parents that mess up just as there are children of bad parents that make something of themselves. It’s called choices.

V

Choices and resilience

SlimShadeeee

Get the fukk off the web and go bail Bryson out of jail Nene!

ScallyWagg

^^^ cosign!

Taelor-Simone

You and all the people who think Bryson should be bailed out are the ones still living at home with your Mom. It’s a shame that so many black males want to be everything else, except an honest, productive, responsible, and mature man. Crime IS a choice.

Millet

From everything that I’ve seen and heard on the show, Nene seemed like a sorry excuse for a mom. I can’t blame her 100%, she most likely learned the wrong behavior from her own mom, it’s a vicious cycle you see? To simplify bad behavior down to a single person making bad choices just because he’s bad, and not trying to understand WHY those bad choices were made, does not help society it only keeps us stagnate. There are real reasons behind the way people act and it’s all 100% based on their life experiences.

tooblessed

RIGHT!!!! MICHELLE IS A HATER BIG TIME!!!

hotlantaboss

I can see Sheree grinning like a Cheshire cat right now.

baybeK8s

Don’t forget Kim. LOL

Taelor-Simone

I hope not, because her kids could easily go down the wrong path as well.

Nyla

No Melissa YOU STFU cuz YOU sound like the fool! Don’t you know that the way people are raised has a lot to do with the decisions they make as adults. Some make the right ones and clearly some don’t. And how exactly do you know what kind of mother Nene is? Because you saw her on TV for a few minutes per episode? Oh.

LaRita

I disagree. You can raise them right, and they still do wrong… remember the preacher’s kid. No one gets a parenting handbook. Many parents are out here doing so much less than she does, even a few minutes on TV can see that. How many kids out here in foster home would give anything to be in his shoes and have the same opportunities he had. She has to stand back and let GOD now. I think she even helps him out of guilt. She had a rough upbringing herself, not in her own mother’s life. But I guess because she is on TV it’s easy to judge her.

Gloria

Do you have any children? If so you will one day eat those words. You will see that you can do all you can and sometimes all you can’t and your children (no matter how old) will go out and make bad choices. It will kill you and eat you up inside because you will think everyone is looking at and blaming you just as you’re doing right now. Bryson has his own issues that he has to deal with. I did some dumb things growing up and couldn’t explain why. L

He’s a fully grown man, he makes his own decisions and his mom is not the one to blame, me personally I believe his mom and step father raised him right he’s just gotten off track. and this is coming from a bitch who cant stand NeNe.

LaShon James via Facebook

I agree Tamala….but I LOVE / HATE NeNe…lol

Ohreally

I just don’t understand this. I could understand if Bryson was in a struggling environment with everyone in the house/neighborhood hustling and struggling, but this right here……..Nene purchased him a car last season, and they live in a beautiful house in a great neighborhood (I would assume).

Greg may not be his birth father, but Bryson still had Greg in the home for most of the time that he was raised. I didn’t know what to think about Bryson when they announced his arrests/fathering children randomly last year, but now it looks as if he is just spoiled and out to embarrass his mother.

I can agree with Nene on one thing, Bryson is grown. Sometimes you have to let grown people learn on their own.

customcalendars4u2

He looks like Booger Bear & like he would knock his mama Nee,Nee upside her head and steal her wallet in a dark alley if the opportunity presented itself. She’s a FAKE and so is her life!

ScallyWagg

I agree! Nene is fake but Bryson’s arrest record isn’t!

Nicole TherealNicole English via Facebook

Depends on the crimes. They all seem to be very petty crimes. But he does need to stop. This is GA and they will railroad his ass.

I feel bad for Nene this dude is ungrateful. He really trying to act his part as a celebrity kid!

Just Wondering

RHOA season 1 was taped during his last year of high school so I wouldn’t say Nene’s quest for fame and fortune is to blame. Seems to me Bryson wants to live like all the other spoiled rich kids and Nene wants him to be a man, so he’s acting out.

Xenia

Michelle,

Perhaps you will be a better step-mother to Bob’s kids!

Stop with the hate, it makes you UGLY!

Sasha T.

This guy always seem to get into trouble while Nene is filming. I’m no psychologist, but is it a cry for fame or a crime for help? Poor Nene, its hard to be a parent to children who seem to go against all that you teach.

Layla

Maybe he’s trying to catch up to Nene’s bestie Marko….JK I love Marlo!

Phyllis Mccollum via Facebook

He’s dumb!!!!…How you gonna keep f’n up & yo mom got connection like he do. She’ll put him “on” but she aint gone have him embarrassing her. She told him in the 1st season to get it together!!~#Looser

l

If he is constantly seeking out attention, the wrong type of attention, maybe mom needs to get from in front of the spotlights and help her son out.Unless this is a studio plot or something, this child needs some help and Bravo aint gonna fix it and don’t want to fix it.Save our sons and stay off of reality t.v….SAD.

Taelor-Simone

You and many others need to stop making excuses for grown men who know EXACTLY what their doing. They know the consequences of their choices and they CHOOSE to commit crimes over and over and over again.

l

It is my opinion and not an excuse. Next time I will say this is l’s opinion on an open blog, so you want have to tell me what I am doing wrong.BTW, everyone will not see issues the same, and that is a right we, as Americans, have in this country. Thanks, Atlien for this forum so I can keep on voicing my personal opinion.

NewMeKnowYou

I guess since Nene is a "rich bitch"…Bryson is living like a trust fund baby with not a care in the world.

Straight hater

From what I can see NeNe has done everything reasonable to raise her son in a positive and supportive light. I remember when she enrolled him in college and he wanted to live on campus, I think it was Clarke Univerz. She been there for him emotionally with her motivational life talks her an Greg, financially, she has purchased a couple of cars for Bryson, physically, allowing Bryson to continue to live under her roof without a job or educational pursuits. She even attempted a makeover with Dwight to encourage his endeavors. NeNe also solicited help from Peter to guide Bryson in his quest to open a club. Now that Bryson is a grown man it’s not much you can do to effect the outcome of his actions. Basically at this stage of the game all we can do is warn and watch and be there as parents when the situation dictates, whether you ar a let them crash and burn parent of hard knocks pull yourself up by your own bootstrap parent, or I will hold you and guide you love you no matter what parent and pick you up as soon or before you fall parent. All you can do is do you and be a parent!! Parenting is subjective.

Taelor-Simone

So well spoken. I agree with everything you said.

facingreality

The situation with Bryson has absolutely NOTHING to do with NeNe as he didn’t do anything negative until he was expected to get out there and feign for himself. Today’s children are ungrateful and very lazy. They are always looking for the easy way out. In my day you left the nest at 18 either to college or somebody’s job but you didn’t get the financial support from Mom/Dad anymore.

I hear people say its better to have 2 parents and that single mother children are the worst – well the jails are filled with both. Life is about choices and Bryson is making ‘his’ choices that have nothing to do with how he was raised as he had 2 parents in his home. Michelle I would hope/pray that your daughter doesn’t grow up to make a fool of your attitude towards NeNe’s parenting style as you will soon find out that no matter how much you teach/preach or reach out to a child – they have to want more for themselves – they have to make better CHOICES!

Danielle Butler via Facebook

You seem excited…is it because you feel this will be negative press for NeNe? SMH@ trying to be funny in article.

Chi City Chick

I could b wrong, but it does seem like everything started going downhill for him once she got famous. She hasn’t always been a celeb so this life is very different for him. She may shun him alot behind the scenes like he isn’t good enuff and seemed to buy his affection with a car instead of time spent. I have 2 kids and a mother never stops being a mother no matter how old kids get. And to the bullshhhh comments thrown at Michelle, she is a powerful black woman with her own opinions so no need to b nasty just because you don’t agree. She is a journalist of a very popular blog with fans all over. Who knows your goofy ass?

!!!!!

i dont think nene’s "celeb" status or lack of her spending time with her son is a factor. the boy is grown and should know better. she just needs to stop coming to his rescue whenever he gets himself into trouble and let him deal with the consequences that come with the decisions he make.

Prayerneeded

It’s sad to see this happen. Honestly, no one knows the real situation- how he was raised or anything. Reality tv only shows snapshots. He and his family need prayer. This young man is obviously troubled for whatever reason. Both of their kids need prayer- the family has changed and their parents are constantly in the spotlight which means they are. Their past lives – such as nene being a past stripper and many other things. However, it’s still only a snapshot and the world doesn’t really know these ppl. As parents, they are probably greatly disturbed by his actions. Prayer and seeking God’s help is critical.

Ray Ray

HE JUST ANOTHER SORRY ASS NIGGA!!!

UPT

He has been exposed to TOO much and SPOILED…..Yes, he’s legally an adult but he hasn’t finished growing up….That is Nene’s fault.

He grew up with an abusive father, an angry stripper mother who chastised him on camera making him feel like a child, and then she says you’re grown I’m done with you while she acts a fool for fame….I feel bad for Bryson.

chanel

I just cannot get over the fact that he was stealing razors..wtf?? Some shit his mom had in her bathroom. His black ass would stay in jail! Ne Ne checked the shit out of Sheree for bringing it up at the reunion but it seems she needs to check her son. Grown or not! Razors??..I would have roughed my son up..stealing stupid shit!

Angie M Anderson via Facebook

smh he is a dumbass!

raja

NeNE used her sons issues as a story line on RHOA. He didn’t have a since direction and it was broadcast for the world see. That was very unhealthy and her fault.

Ms Aries

I agree with Angie M Anderson, He is a dumb ass. Nene has nothing to do with this grown man and his actions. Nene loves her kids and hopes for the best from them.

mon

damn this aint even funny greg need to step up is clear bryson has no direction nene need to be taking him to church or finding him a mentor he is lost

Ray Ray

SHITT!!!! NE NE NEED TO GO TO CHURCH HERSELF!!

deb

How is sheree and kim going to laugh at nene, because her son got into trouble, when they have kid of their own. They don’t know what their kid are going to grow up and be. Sheree and Kim are’t an example of a perfect parent.

JDUB

Who wrote this article?
Who raises a career criminal, thats the path HE choose, no one makes yu do stupid shh like that..

NE ways,NeNe keep up the good work

ScallyWagg

Career criminals have moms and dads too don’t they? Aren’t they "raised" by someone, some how?

I’m not going to put the blame on nene but since she has flaunted her fabulous self on television as if her doodoo smells like roses it’s easy to understand why she gets a bad rapp on things like these.

SoutherGirl

I totally agree. I think some people are just using this incident with Bryson to take jabs at Nene.

RLG

I’m not surprised. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. This ape looks like he was picked up from the local zoo. While NeNe is busy acting as is she’s Paris Hilton she needs to get her ugly ass son some professional help or an intervention.

I used to enjoy seeing her on RH yet nowadays her mediocre reality show fame has gone to her head. I mean seriously, she had the audacity to turn her nose up at Kandi because of her sex toy line when NeNe is nothing more that a second class stripper who latch on to her old ass husband who took her ass off of the stripper pole. Talk about at HYPOCRITE.

Kandi is the ONLY self made woman on that show, she’s been successful since HIGH SCHOOL yet NeNe is making sarcastic remarks about her every chance that she get.

Don’t get me wrong, I respect the hustle, BUT don’t knock those who were selling platinum while you were counting dollar bills.

Ohreally

@RLG: Don’t forget that both Cynthia and Phaedra are self made women also.

The ape comment was brutal. That has a racial connotation. Smb

RLG

CORRECTION: Kandi, Phaedra, and Cythania are self-made. Although Cynthia is brainwashed by Peter’s OLD BROKE ass. She’s so beautiful and could do so much better.

l

Why are people name calling this young man?He has done wrong, but calling him "AN Ape or a boogabear" has nothing to do with his crime.We in the black community have serious issues with coloring.He favors Shaq to me and aint nothing wrong with that.If he was light or white, wouldn’t nobody say nothing about his ‘black azz" this or that.Sad day in Black America….man, who this is ridiculous? SMH

SoutherGirl

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of women blaming the bad choices men make on everyone else but the man himself. Nene and Greg gave him a balanced life with structure, love and discipline. Once you give your kids tools and instructions on how to live a productive life, it’s up to them in how they use them. Bryson is the blame for his poor choices. Not Nene, not Greg, not society, and not even his peers.

Laila

I think Bryson takes after his dad, which is why he seems to be more interested in doing wrong, than right. I remember Nene saying Bryson’s dad was a hustler and was physically abusive. Bryson has been in a few physical altercations that we know of and that lets me know he’s just wired that way. Nene can’t put out that fire burning in him. Only God can fix him at this point.

michelle

Unfortunately all families go through this type of situation. She is famous but fame and fortune means nothing to a person who WANTS to commit crime or do drugs. I pray for ALL families who has a loved one lost to the streets or drugs. Cause I have a nephew who was RAISED by loving old school grand parents and his mother and step father whom all WORKED. But by the time he was 13 he started hanging out and doing petty crimes. No matter how much my sister punished him and knocked the hell out of him it didn’t help. He has been to prison twice and became hooked on crack. We were raised in the same house hold but I decided not to do the things he was doing. Maybe because I feared my mother. All I’m saying is the CHOICES YOU MAKE IN LIFE ARE YOURS. YOU MAKE A BAD ONE AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

Reece

I know Bryson is grown now and can make his own decisions, but he was still in high school when RHOA 1st premiered and before that Ne-Ne spent a lot of time in Hollywood trying to become an actress, plus I’m sure it was hard on him that his mom and dad wasn’t tegether. Taking into account all of that, I can see how he fell through the cracks.

lockstress

Really? HIs ugly azz needs to stay locked up! Ole trifling azz! This is not his momma’s doing these ignorant azz choices are his own. You can do all you can do for a child but at the end of the day…IT’S THEIR CHOICE! Oh…the embarassment! He’s a gorilla looking mess! ugh!

lisa

You can all the money and the world and your kids will still mess up. My thing is people raise their children to be the best they can be and it’s the child’s choice to make bad decisions. He is responsible for his own self. Not his mom nor his dead, he is grown. Nene is not the only one whose kids are wild. Look at the society. It’s not the parents fault is his fault. And any parent can attest to that.

Raine

Every family has issues. Doesnt matter if your rich or poor. It appears that Nene has tried tough love and that hasnt worked. We dont know what their relationship was like before HWOA. The truth is he knows right from wrong and she knows what she perhaps could have done better. Just sayin!

NathanLeakes

sadly you can’t start parenting your children when they become adults. No need trying to be the parent now when you obviously wasn’t the parent during his formative years. I’m sure it is hard to instill quality values into a young boy when you’re stripping at Magic City and Cheetah to pay the bills.

Look, all he did was steal everybody acts like thats worse than rape or even murder,Granted it’s wrong but i still really feel like people serioulsly over aggagerate it.And instead of NeNe being so hard on bryson and throwing him out of the house when he clearly needs her the most and being concerned with how other people are viewing this NeNe should be spending lots and lots of time with bryson he also might be in serious need of a strong father figure.I wish the best for him.really,because this is a sad,evil,backwards dog eat dog world.This world dont care about nobody or nothin at all.
